"Il Photografo: Mestiere d’Arte" by Giuliana Scimé

Our visits to my wife, Ulla’s house in northern Italy over a twenty-year period had some lovely benefits beyond the friends, the wine, the jazz gigs, and basking in the landscape.

The Italian photo community responded with shows of my work at a citywide Biennale in Torino, and at a one-person gallery show in Milano.  Private dealers in Milano sold my prints, particularly the nudes, as did galleries in Switzerland and Germany.  A renowned teacher, Professor Giuliana Scimé, included my work in her 2003 history of photography,  Il Photografo: Mestiere d’Arte.  At left  is the book cover. Below are her pages with examples of my work (please click on the photos for larger readable versions).

A chapter on my Italian photos and experiences appears in my 2011 book, Causes and Spirits, autographed copies of which I continue to sell direct until they run out (see this page on my website to order); they can also be ordered from Amazon.
